Busy Girls Lasagna

Why waste your time making lasagna from scratch, when it's so easy to assemble and serve semi-homemade style. Sandra Lee will be so proud of us! 1 package of oven-ready lasagna noodles1 big jar or can of marinara (I use Prego Heart Smart because it’s AHA certified)1 large container of ricotta1 lb of grated mozzarella1 package of grated parmesan1 egg1 lb ground beef, chicken, turkey or tofu1 tbs of dried parsley

Brown the ground meat, sprinkle a little black pepper over it. Mix the meat with the marinara.

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta ¾ of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, parsley and beated egg.

Start with the meat/marinara sauce mixture, then noodles (make sure the noodles are covered with sauce), ricotta cheese mixture, a light layer of mozzarella, etc.

Top with another light layer of mozzarella and parmesan. Bake covered at 350 for 50 min. Remove foil and back for another 10 minutes.
